Abstract

The agricultural sector has a massive role in the economic growth of a country, especially an agrarian country like Indonesia. One effort to improve the community's economy, reduce poverty, and improve the distribution of community income can be made by developing agroindustry. Cassava has become an agro-industrial commodity. Fresh cassava only lasts for a short time and is priced low. However, if further processing is carried out and managed optimally, cassava can provide more excellent economic value, thereby providing substantial profits for farmers and the community. This research aims to analyze strategies that can be formulated and implemented to develop the local cassava food business in Bukit Sari Village, Martapura District, East Ogan Komering Ulu Regency. The research method used in this research is the survey method. The results of this discussion show that there is an opportunity in the cassava chips business for business actors to develop their business into souvenirs from Bukit Sari Village, Martapura District, East Ogan Komering Ulu Regency and the threat to the cassava chips business is that there are competitors for other snack and fast food products so that these cassava chips are forgotten.

Abstract

This study aims to (1) determine the intensity of rice field land use for rice and watermelon plants and (2) determine the income of farmers in rice and watermelon farming in Paya Itik Village, Galang District, Deli Serdang Regency. The population of this study consisted of farmers who planted rice and watermelon on one piece of land alternately in Paya Itik Village. The sample of this study was 50 rice and watermelon farmers alternately. Data collection used primary data methods with direct interviews with farmers to calculate the intensity of rice field land use for rice and watermelon plants. Data analysis used qualitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that the intensity of land for the first rice plant was 25%, watermelon was 8.33%, and the second rice was 25% with a land area of ??18.58 Ha. This is done because farmers use land to increase production during the planting season. The income of rice farmers in the first planting season was Rp. 5,819,699.444/year, watermelon plants Rp. The income obtained was 8,365,888.3/year, and in the second planting season of rice plants, it was Rp—6,293,452.46/year.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the influence of production factors on carrot farming production in the research area to determine the influence of production factors on the income of carrot farmers in the research area, to determine the level of feasibility of carrot farming in the research area; to determine the level of optimization of workforce deployment for carrot farming in the research area. The regional determination was carried out purposively in Sugihen Village, Dolat Rakyat District, Karo Regency. The research sample was set at 30 samples of farmers, where sampling was carried out using Simple Random Sampling. The research results show that simultaneously, land area, labor expenditure, and production facility costs significantly affect carrot farming production, with R2 = 0.936. Partially, land area and production facility costs substantially affect production, but labor does not considerably impact carrot farming production. Simultaneously, land area, labor expenditure, and production facility costs significantly affect carrot farming income with R2 = 0.900. Partially, land area and production facility costs substantially affect income, but labor has no significant effect on carrot farming income. Carrot farming has economic feasibility with an RCR value = 4.41, so carrot farming in the research area is worth pursuing. The optimal level of labor expenditure in carrot farming is -1.97. So that NPMX < 1, the expenditure of labor is not optimal, and to achieve maximum profits, the expenditure of labor in carrot farming must be reduced.

Abstract

This study analyzes the marketing strategy of banana chip products at the Keripik Ayu Ketaren MSME in North Sumatra. Although Indonesia is the largest banana producer in the world, the utilization of banana harvests is still relatively low. Banana chips, on the other hand, have significant market potential, especially as a healthy snack option. This study uses a SWOT analysis to identify MSMEs' strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The results of the analysis show several strengths, such as good product durability and affordable prices, which can be utilized to expand the market. However, challenges such as limited capital and distribution networks must be addressed to support growth. Existing opportunities, including the increasing demand for healthy snacks and the potential of digital platforms, can help expand market reach. On the other hand, threats from larger competitors and lack of product innovation are risks that must be faced to overcome these challenges; the recommended strategies include improving packaging quality, flavor innovation to attract new consumers, and utilizing digital and e-commerce platforms to reach a wider audience. This study aims to provide valuable insights for MSME actors in developing effective marketing strategies, increasing the competitiveness of banana chip products, and supporting business sustainability in an increasingly competitive market.

Abstract

Agricultural extension is an important and strategic activity that cannot be separated from development in the agricultural sector. Agricultural extension is the spearhead of development at the field level, which also determines the development of the farming system run by farmers or farmer groups. One indicator of the role of agricultural extension is the development of farmer groups, which is shown through their abilities in terms of both technical and management of the farming business being run. This research aims to analyze the level of satisfaction of rice farmers with the role of Field Agricultural Instructors (PPL) in increasing farming productivity in Muaradua Kisam District, South Ogan Komering Ulu (OKU) Regency. The research used a survey method with a simple random sampling technique, where 60 lowland rice farmers from a total population of 120 farmers were used as respondents. Data was collected through questionnaires and interviews and then analyzed using a descriptive approach. The research results show that most of the attributes of extension services have met the level of farmer satisfaction, especially in providing extension services with a friendly attitude and the application of farming technology. However, there are several attributes, such as organizing farmer groups and providing complete technological information, which do not fully satisfy farmers. This conclusion indicates the need to increase the capacity of extension workers in building effective communication and cooperation to increase farmer satisfaction and support the sustainable development of the agricultural sector in the research area.

Abstract

Deli Serdang Regency is one of the key beef cattle production centers in North Sumatra, playing a crucial role in efforts to achieve self-sufficiency in meat production at both the provincial and national levels. However, in recent years, the population and production of beef cattle in this region have fluctuated, while the demand for beef remains unmet. Therefore, this study aims to identify the factors influencing the performance of inseminators in improving beef cattle production in Deli Serdang Regency. This research employs a non-random sampling method using judgment sampling techniques. The sample consists of all inseminators from the Department of Agriculture and Livestock of Deli Serdang, totaling 42 respondents. The collected data were analyzed using the SEM method with the assistance of SmartPLS4 software. The results indicate that variables such as rewards, leadership, communication, and knowledge have a positive but statistically insignificant impact on inseminator performance (P Value > 0.05). Meanwhile, skills have a positive and significant influence on inseminator performance (P Value < 0.05). Indirect testing reveals that rewards, leadership, and communication influence motivation but are not significant. Similarly, knowledge affects ability but is also not significant. However, skills have a significant impact on inseminator performance. Between 2018 and 2022, the beef cattle population in Deli Serdang Regency increased by 1.44%, reaching 102,985 heads. Conversely, beef production declined by -1.27%, with a total production of 2,040,172 tons.

Abstract

Shafira taro (Colocasia esculenta var. antiquorum) is a type of small-tubered taro, also known as Japanese taro, which is traded internationally. This study aims to examine the effect of various concentrations of Thidiazuron (TDZ) and Benzyl Amino Purine (BAP), as well as the combination of Thidiazuron with Naphtalene Acetic Acid (NAA) and BAP with NAA, on the multiplication of Shafira taro shoots through in vitro culture techniques. The method used in this study uses in vitro culture techniques, which are modern plant propagation science known in the world of biotechnology and allow controlled propagation and improvement of plant species. An essential component of this technique is using plant growth regulators (PGRs), critical for modulating various physiological processes in plant cells and tissues. PGRs promote growth and differentiation, optimize secondary metabolite production, and increase plant resistance. This study used a combination of main PGR treatments (TDZ, BAP, and NAA) with a total of 13 (thirteen) treatment combinations using a randomized block design, namely: k0: Control, t1: TDZ 1 ppm, t2: TDZ 2 ppm, t3: TDZ 3 ppm, b1: BAP 1 ppm, b2: BAP 2 ppm, b3: BAP 3 ppm, t1n1: TDZ 1 ppm + NAA 0.5 ppm, t2n1: TDZ 2 ppm + NAA 0.5 ppm, t3n1: TDZ 3 ppm + NAA 0.5 ppm, b1n1: BAP 1 ppm + NAA 0.5 ppm, b2n1: BAP 2 ppm + NAA 0.5 ppm, b3n1: BAP 3 ppm + NAA 0.5 ppm. Each treatment was repeated thrice, with three tissue culture bottles per repetition, resulting in 117 tubes containing one explant. The results showed that the highest number of roots, leaves, and shoots was achieved with 1 ppm BAP, while the optimal fresh weight and shoot height were obtained with 2 ppm BAP. Treatments involving combinations of TDZ, TDZ + NAA, and BAP + NAA did not produce significant results for shoot multiplication.

Abstract

Modern management of smallholder oil palm plantations is very much needed to enable smallholder oil palm plantations to follow the progress of management of large oil palm plantations, both state-owned and privately owned. This study aims to determine how production factors influence production and to determine the technical efficiency of smallholder oil palm plantations. The location of the study was determined purposively based on the consideration of the existence of smallholder oil palm plantations in the area. The sample was determined by quota sampling of 150 samples from two villages, namely Buntu Bayu Village and Buntu Turunan Village, each with 75 samples. The analysis involves applying the Multiple Non-Linear Regression Test (Rank Test) alongside Data Envelopment Analysis, focusing on managing smallholder oil palm plantations throughout 2023. The study results show that, partially, the production of smallholder oil palm plantations is significantly positively influenced by each production factor. Conversely, the output of smallholder oil palm plantations is notably affected by various production factors, including land, labor, fertilizer, and pesticides. Most (78.00%) smallholder oil palm plantations are technically inefficient, with an average technical efficiency value of 0.9755. To achieve a technically efficient production process, smallholder plantation farmers must reduce inputs, namely 2.5416% of the land, 4.0501% of labor, 5.5449% of fertilizer, and 3.1165% of pesticides.
